## How to Calculate Tea Steeping Time ### Guidelines by Tea Type | Tea | Temperature | Time | |-----|------------|------| | Green | 165-180°F | 1.5-3 min | | White | 175-185°F | 2-4 min | | Oolong | 185-205°F | 2-4 min | | Black | 200-212°F | 3-5 min | | Herbal | 212°F | 5-7 min | ### Key Principles - **Temperature matters more than time.** Green tea becomes bitter in boiling water regardless of steeping time. - **Loose leaf tea** generally needs 1 teaspoon (2-3 g) per cup with room to expand. - **Tea bags** steep slightly faster because the leaf is cut smaller, increasing surface area. - **Multiple infusions**: Oolong and pu-erh can be steeped 3-5 times, adding 30 seconds each round.
Lösungsbeispiel
2 cups of loose-leaf black tea at 3 g per cup.
- 01Steeping time = 4 x 1 = 4 minutes
- 02Total tea = 2 x 3 = 6 g (about 2.4 tsp)
- 03Total water = 2 x 237 = 474 mL
- 04Use boiling water (212°F) for black tea.
Häufig Gestellte Fragen
Why is my green tea bitter?
Green tea becomes bitter when steeped in water that is too hot (above 180°F) or for too long (over 3 minutes). Let boiling water cool for 2-3 minutes before pouring, or use a thermometer. Steep for 1.5-2 minutes initially.
How do I measure water temperature without a thermometer?
After boiling, let water sit: 1 minute for about 200°F, 3 minutes for about 185°F, 5 minutes for about 175°F. These are rough estimates and vary by container and room temperature.
Can I reuse tea leaves?
Yes. High-quality loose leaf tea, especially oolong, pu-erh, and white tea, can be steeped multiple times. Each infusion reveals different flavors. Add 15-30 seconds to each subsequent steeping.
